4. Resurrection of extinct animals

Just like in Jurassic Park, scientists are now able to extract DNA from dead animals and implant it into the egg cells of cows, which can bring the dead animal “back to life.” Whether or not it’s ethical to revive extinct animals, however, remains a controversial topic.

5. Machine translation that understands human languages

Baidu Translate currently supports 27 languages, 702 methods of translation, and deals with over 100 million translation requests. Baidu has also invented a translating robot whose function as a real-time interpreter has been praised by scholars both domestically and abroad.

6. Physical transformation

Scientists have programmed a chip the size of a pin’s head. Based on different combinations of established electrical charges, scientists are attempting to change the size of various items. It is expected that, within 40 years, transformation will become a widespread technology.
